The Elemis Pro-Collagen Renewal Serum , which launches on 9 March, utilises a unique blend of ingredients that the brand claims replicates the line-reducing, skin-firming, tone-evening benefits or retinol without ... retinol. Gentle enough to be used every day, the concentrated serum contains Stevia extract (you know, the natural sweetener you use if you can't have sugar), galactomannans (which are polysaccharides extracted from alfalfa plants), along with red microalgae, which all together act like a vitamin A derivative without any irritation. Whilst we won't be ditching our dermatologist-recommended, prescription retinol anytime soon, we're intrigued at the new ingredients in this formula.
